John Verwey (born 27 July 1957), nicknamed The Walrus, is a Canadian former professional darts player who played in Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) and British Darts Organisation (BDO) tournaments. During a 25-year career, he enjoyed numerous wins competing in his native Ontario, going on to represent the province at the national level on four occasions.^[1] In 2005, Verwey earned a spot in the PDC World Darts Championship where he lost in the third round to Colin Lloyd.^[2]

Verwey honed his innate darts talent most of his youth but hadn't yet turned professional until around the mid-nineties, where he met with some success for the first time at the Canada National Championships.^[3] Primarily renowned as a singles champion, John Verwey often forayed into the doubles scene, alongside fellow darts player and spouse, Heather.^[4]

Verwey was defeated by Colin Lloyd in the 2005 World Darts Championship.^[5]

Verwey is currently unranked, and as such, receives no benefit of sponsorship as many professional darts players often do.

Verwey is a dual-ticketed millwright and electrician and currently operates a laboratory at the Bruce Nuclear Generating Station near Port Elgin. He maintains a sprawling farm estate in Auburn, Ontario, with his wife, three children and relatives.
